JPN has recently advised IC holders (including PR holders) to replace their card if it is more than 10 years old.
Previously it was only necessary to replace an IC in the following circumstances:
- IC had been damaged
- IC had been lost
- IC had been stolen
- IC holder reached 18 years of age
- IC holder changed permanent address
The cost to replace a MyPR card is RM40, although an additional processing fee will be charged to replace a card that has been lost.
See this JPN Facebook post:
- Make a police report (JPN say this is only needed for a second or subsequent loss). This can be done at a police station or online at https://ereporting.rmp.gov.my/index.aspx
- Go to JPN with the police report
- Apply for a replacement card and pay the MyPR application fee (RM40) and a processing fee: RM100 (first time loss of card), RM300 (second time), RM1,000 (third and subsequent times)
What if my MyPR has been stolen?
- Make a police report (this must always be done for a stolen card). This can be done at a police station or online at https://ereporting.rmp.gov.my/index.aspx
- Go to JPN with the police report
- Apply for a replacement card and pay the MyPR application fee (RM40). A processing fee does not need to be paid to replace a card that has been stolen.
What if I have lost or had my MyPR stolen overseas?
You are advised to make a police report in that country, then follow the steps above.
